romney shot back with this statement. he said i was disappointed to hear that rick santorum would rather have barack obama as president than a republican. any of the republicans running would be better than president obama and his record of failure. santorum's campaign said today, of course, he'll back the gop nominee. so is this a significant blunder do you think? are people going to remember this, maria, going into the polls come november, and the interesting thing if mitt romney is, which it looks like it is, if you look at the numbers, going to be the nominee, is rick santorum going to have to walk this back do you think? >> well, i think he's already started to walk it back, don, but i do think it's something that people will remember because what rick santorum is doing is he is giving voice to the real and palpable dislike, distrust, and disdain that many social and religious conservatives have about romney right now. and i think it was a hail mary pass on his part to say, look, now is the time to rally with me, a r

mitt romney railed against the economy and mr. obama's handling of it just in the last hour in mississippi. >> you see that sign up there, you see less jobs, small debt, smaller government. that's what we want and that's not what we've got. with this president we have fewer jobs, we have more debt and bigger government. that's what's wrong with this president. that's why we have to get him out of office. >> president obama is due to talk about the economy in just a couple of hours when he visits a factory in virginia. >>> in syria, more bloodshed. the opposition says more than 60 people have been killed just today.

medicaid dollars were used to pay for romney care, and, of course, we've seen now that romney care is $2 billion over budget where they've had to increase taxes in order to pay for it. this was a disaster in massachusetts, and then he had the audacity to go out in 2009 and argue that barack obama follow his lead. unfortunately for the country, obama did. president obama did follow mitt romney's lead and adopted, as david plouffe said yesterday, the blueprint for obama care which was romney care. this is the most important issue in this election. it's one that encapsulates all the issues that are at stake in this very critical election in our country's history, and there's only one candidate who has the chance of winning the republican nomination who can make this the central issue that will be a winning issue for us to win the presidency back, and that's rick santorum and, unfortunately, the worst person to make that case is mitt romney, and that's why, as i said, here we're today and he's not.

bush embrace mitt romney. romney has already embraced the bush foreign policy and his economic policy. but it was a touching moment between a great leader of the republican party, and there are so many better gaffs we could point to with mitt romney, particularly his reference to russia as being the greatest threat to our geopolitical word as opposed to iran or al qaeda. >> don't go there, because i will go to the open mike gaff, which is a lot bigger gaff than what mitt romney said. this was just a normal exchange. >> i'm going to take you in a total different direction, and that is this awkward moment. what's up with the former president taking his shoes off and showing his socks? could you just explain? i was looking at this and wondering, hmm, this was sort of a dr. seuss moment. what's the book, guys? fox in socks. i just -- i don't know. there was something going on here. robert, what's the obsession here with socks? >> let me tell you something, i finally have something in common with george herbert wal

what would romney need to do? >> to make up the difference, he has got to focus like a laser on the economy, and most importantly, he has to connect. the great novelist wrote, the famous phrase in literature, only connect. only connect. i think that is what he has failed to do. but i think it's starting to work for him a little better. these last ten days, his language is changing. i think ann romney led the way on that. >> the same poll actually shows that president obama would beat santorum by 11 points. does that actually say something about electability here? does it bust that myth that mitt romney is more electable than santorum? >> well, there's an interesting question. i must say, most polls show us a significant difference between romney versus santorum, against obama. in most polls, you find santorum running several points behind obama. if anything, the one that's sort of like -- well, a lot of polls show ron paul running very close to obama, very close to mitt romney. >> what does that say? i don't know
